I think I know the backstory on this, but it's still an incredible video, mistakes (by Muddy) and all:

Yeah, the blues and gospel train, shot by Granada TV, 1963 in Manchester UK. There's also stunning footage of Sister Rosetta Tharpe!

Happy Birthday Muddy !

Happy Birthday McKinley Morganfield !! I received my first communion with the blues on a hot August evening, 1974, when I saw Muddy Waters for the first time.

This makes you forget Muddy on that day- she just kills it

I've seen that Muddy video before. I have always wondered about what was on the back of the neck of the Tele he's using. It looks like writing of some sort. Maybe chord locations?
